Narrative

MTMs were changing a liner with the cover plate on the floor for the sump. Injured MTM had their left hand on the case while using the the right hand to pry the liner and throat bushing into place. The case cover shifted pinching the employee's left ring finger between the sharp edge of the case and curb of the sump causing a break on the left ring finger and sutures.
